Jeremy Hunt says Rachel Reeves' budget could be ''worst in decades'' | The Daily T Podcast Exclusive

Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt joins Kamal and Gordon Rayner in the Daily T studio for an exclusive sit-down interview.

He describes this week’s upcoming Budget as being the “most damaging since the 1970s”, accuses the Office for Budget Responsibility of doing political favours, and describes Rachel Reeves’ talk of a £22 billion black hole as ‘fiction.’

Kamal and Gordon also ask him what it’s like to deliver a Budget as chancellor, as well as who he’s voted for in the Conservative leadership contest.

Does anyone challenge these politicians on illegal immigration costs ever?

[richardh]

Hunt is just desperately trying to distract us from his massive mishandling of the finances

[Simon-zbfp]

I thought Jeremy Hunt's budget after Liz Truss fiasco was the worst in history. The fact that he says he that he enjoys it shows how warped he is!

[museholic]

So he thinks there's no black hole because if he was still in control, he'd be punching down on benefit claimants, and then he has the nerve to say cutting winter fuel payments is immoral! He's a real piece of work! 🤮

[allanmcdowall]

Does he remember lizz truss and the muppet she put in charge of finances and just about screwed us for good

[tradeladder]

This harsh Budget is because of 14 years of Tory Greed and incompetence, yet they will blame Labour, Brass Neck or what. 😂

[fratty]

This guy froze the personal tax allowance, the single biggest hit to peoples finances!
Move on

[cjarmstrong]

He talks about this £72bn black hole he faced in 2022, without ever acknowledging that it was created by his own party!

#Shameless #Clueless

[happyjonn]

worst budget in 50 years for who? Tories? the super rich? oh dear, cry me a river.

[juneritchie]

Jeremy Hunts opinion is like taking childcare advice from Jimmy Saville.

[andrewondon]

The previous gov and hunt have no place to criticise the budget.

[jmw-qtih]

Like Jeremy Hunts opinion is worth listening to.

[adiarmuid]

everyone needs to ask Jeremy to do one - what a slippery eel after leaving chaos and unfunded departments across the board - no credit to take at all especially defence 2.5% in 10 years time - so never really - less useful than a chocolate teapot

[jonathancollard]

Hunt gave a speech at my son’s prep-school some years ago. He was a plonker then and still is… luckily I moved house and he is long longer my MP. I’m saying this as a Tory voter since 1979; the TINO’s have left the country down since Osborne and Cameron …

[GaryClark-lq]

Why do British people have to pay for government failure

[doctordeej]

Went in to ‘improve things’ and ended up salting the earth in a pathetic attempt to scupper Labour to engineer a swift return. The guy is a crook like the rest of them.

[wlsn]

This is why the public doesn't trust the conservative party anymore - did he forget about Truss?

[babyfacemichael]

Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss and oh yeah Truss,

[adiarmuid]

the only truth is hunt created a huge black hole but was more interested in hanging onto his seat than dealing with his job as chancellor from which he capitulated

[matthewhicks]

Hunt seems to have a very short memory or he likes to take the p1ss. He’s one of the reasons we are in this mess
